mate, I'm seeing clips in here that I've never seen before!! especially some of his French Club Rugby clips!! 2023, and he's still highly favoured!! imagine if he didn't age, and played at the RWC'23......
This guy just glides through the air like a cheetah, I’ve never seen such a relaxed running style all my life. It looks like he goes at 70%, and when he changes angles he goes up to 90% then back to 70%, he never looks like he’s really trying to go fast.
The winning try he scored (Northland v Auckland) when he burnt Howlett from the outside, I reckon he was going 95 maybe 100% there. Because he was back peddling had to stop pivot and accelerate past Howlett who was about 10-15m in front of him. I mean that is some serious devil speed if you’re doing that to anyone, least of all Dougy Howlett 😧🔥 💪🏾💯
My favourite player of all time. In his prime, whenever he got the ball in space you just knew he was gonna score or set up a try for someone else. Wish we could get all his NPC and sevens highlights. He scored a double against the Hurricanes in 02 as well that still isn’t on RU-vid.
Rupeni was probably the greatest ever attacking player to play the game. What I believe stops him from being the greatest of all time was his lack of discipline.
Nah he is the GOAT, thats why going to practice wasnt necessary for him lol only the greatest could do that and still be the best player on the field 😂😂
not to be negative and to offend anyone, but this guy will be surely missed when he dies...... what a funeral he'll have; like a chief's!! hopefully, his former teammates will visit him and his family while he's still alive, and NOT wait for his funeral...... What-A-Legend!!!!!
